The result of container_of() will not be NULL here.
Did you mean to check i_cdev? That probably also won't
be NULL, but that check would be more reasonable.

What is that limitation for? Is it worse to open it twice than
to dup() or fork()?

Note that the test is not really atomic either: if three processes
try to open the file at the same time, it gets decremented from
1 to -2, so only the second one sees 0 and increments it back
to -1 afterwards...

remove the error messages here as well.

This seems odd. Why two separate checks, and why the access_ok()
check when you do a copy_from_user() that contains the same check
later?

If you want to get fancy here, you could just copy the data in the main
ioctl handler based on _IOC_SIZE, and pass around normal kernel
pointers from there.

This lacks a .compat_ioctl pointer.
